ber of members were in attendance.
Notes.
The funeral of the late Mrs Kil
bourne. mother of Charles Kilbourne,
of Greenville, was held yesterday
afternoon.
Andrew Fox was removed to the
Waterbury hospital yesterday after
noon. The reason for Mr Fox's re
moval to the hospital is that he has
been suffering for some time with
rheumatism of the heart and as he
lives alone it was necessary to have
some one to care for him.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 The navy

and quietness, says Commander Tilley,
prevail everywhere among the natives,
and they are obedient, tractable and in

cultivation of cocoanuts and bananas, and
a marked increase in the exportation of
crops is noted. A number of roads and
harbor entrances are said to be suffering
for want of improvements, and Com

EDICT OF THE EMPRESS DISCUSSED.
Generally Believed to Have Injured
China's Cause Chinese Ministers
DisKosled The Empress BIny Be
Left In Exile to Humble Her.
PEKING, via Shanghai, Nov. 22.
The ministers held another meeting yes
terday, but nothing wsjs accomplished, as
several of the representatives of the pow
ers had not heard from their home offices.
An adjournment to un undesignated date
was taken.
At the meeting the ministers talked of
the edict issued by the empress dowager
on Nov. 13 for the punishment of princes
and officers responsible for the present
trouble. It was the unanimous opinion
that the punishments ordered were insuf
ficient and that the edict had injured in
stead of helped China's cause. It is stat
ed on the best authority that the Chinese
peace commissioners here, Li Hung
Chung and Prince Ching, are disgusted
and realize that a mistake was made in
issuing such an edict at tlte present time.
The ministers aije particularly, incensed
at the "punishment" of Prince Tuan,
who is banished to Moukden, which is
his home. They say this is something like
"banishing" a New Yorker from China
to New York. Nevertheless, it must be
said that banishment to his native place,
where he is to be imprisoned pending
trial, is one of the most disgraceful pun
ishments in the eyes of the Chinese that
could be inflicted on Prince Tuan.. This
is proved by an examination of past
edicts. It is also acknowledged that the
promise of the punishment of General
Tung Fn Hsiang in the future was much
beyoud what was hoped for.
Officers who are most familiar with the
Chinese characteristics say that nothing
should be done to induce the empress
dowager to return to Peking. She ap
pears to be the only person possessed of
the idea that it will be impossible to do
without her. These persons say that the
edict of Nov. 13 and the note which she
sent to Li Hung Chang with the official
decree iu which she told him that he and
Prince Ching would be held responsible
for further delay in the opening of the
negotiations, shows that she is lacking in
the spirit of meekness which the powers
seem determined to instill in her before
they finish. They say the edict is reaily
her ultimatum and that what she orders
in that decree is as far as she will go to
settle the trouble. It is suggested by. some
people that a further exhibition of the
spirit of meekness m her part might be
desirable before word is sent to her to
return. Otherwise the powers may de
cide to place some one else on the throne
and leave her in exile.
The Italian troops that were in the
Pao-ting-fu expedition returned here to
day wearing fur coats. When they enter
ed the town, the natives at first gave
them silk umbrellas and banners and
flowers. The Italians told the residents
that these things were useless, but that
some useful presents such as furs would
be gratefully accepted. The people act
ed) on the suggestion and furnished fur
coats to the entire command. They also
handed the colonel commanding the Ital
ians 10,000 taels.'
A HITCH AT PEKING.
A Difference Anions: Foreign Envoys
Delays Xegrotiatioiis.
LONDON, Nov. 22. The Shanghai
correspondent of The Morning Post, re
ferring to the rumored decree of the em
press dowager warning governors and
viceroys to prepare for war against the
allies, says that he believes it refers to
the provinces of Shansi and Honan alone,
as the Chinese believe that the allies in
tend to invade them.
A dispatch from I'eking says the meet
ing of the foreign envoys Monday unex
pectedly developed a point of difference,
which brought the negotiations to a tem
porary standstill. The mutter will be re
ferred to the home governments. The
conference adjourned without fixing a
date for reassembling.
It is said that the difference is such as
will possibly caAse considerable delay. Li
Hung Chang is known to have unofficial
ly approached certain ministers with a
view of ascertaining the likelihood of the
powers consenting to reduce the punish
ment of Chinese officials to degradation
by banishment; but it is understood that
he received no encouragement.
Reports from Chinese sources say that
a German and Italian column is burning
villages to the northward.
Mulicions Persecution.

shrouding the prosecution is being clear

malicious persecution, and he feels confi

EXPOSITION MAKING-.
THE PAN-AMERICAN - TO EXCEL .IN
MANY PARTICULARS. i , -
The aiost Delicate and Intricate
Flastic Work Ever Attempted for
Exposition Purposes Color and
Horticultural Embellishment.
The development lof the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo is observed
with profound interest throughout the
western world.' Almost every day
shows some new feature of the magnifi
cent enterprise completed. Some new
tower rears aloft its ornamental pin
nacle, some new dome presents its
rounded top to the sky, or some new
decoration of form or color is added to
the wonderful bouquet of architectur
al loveliness.
Never was there an Exposition so
novel, so unlike what the world has
learned to expect, as this. With the
glorious examples of the Exposition
builder's art and genius to look back
upon with fond remembrance and ad
miration, the vi'orld has wondered if all,
that has been promised for the Pah-Aint-riean
would be realized. If one
may judge by the present stage of the
vast work, the millions of visitors to
Buffalo during the exposition season,
which begins on the 1st of May nest,
will suffer no disappointment.
The Pan-American Exposition will
outshine its distinguished predeces
sors in many particulars. Of these the
court settings are of first importance.
In order that there may be abundant
room for the elaborate decorative ef
fects, 33 acres are alone devoted to
courts. This area is two and a half
times the area of the courts at the
Chicago Columbian Exposition. About
these broad courts are grouped a score
of great buildings, in which the multi
tude cf exhibits from all parts of the
western world arc to be displayed.
As a second important feature may
be mentioned the ornate architecture,
the use of plastic ornameutation of
very intricate and beautiful design and
the employment of original sculptured
groups in the exterior decorations of
buildings, entrances and architectural
features. No less than 125 original
sculptured groups, modeled by some 30
or more distinguished American sculp
tors, will bo used in this feature of the
decorative work.
The use of an elaborate color scheme
has never before been attempted at an
exposition. Tho appropriate title of
the "Rainbow City-' has already been
applied to this great group of brilliant
ly colored buildings, and lovers of color
will find the exquisite harmony of
tints that has here been ' produced a.
most delightful subject for contempla
tion and study.' "'
As a fourth point of superiority may
be named the hydraulic and fountain
features. In all the courts are broad
pools containing numberless cascades
and fountains. These will add to the
beauty of the great work in no small
i degree. Many of the fine sculptures
will form a part of these chartning
j fountains. A broad and stately canal,
i a mile and a half in length, banked
! with grass and lined with a double row
, of young trees, completely encircles the
main group of buildings.
I The horticultural embellishment of
I the grounds constitutes a fifth point of
, excellence. Ornamental trees, shrubs,
lawns and flowers of brilliant hue will
TEMPLE OF MUSIC.
delight the eye everywhere. Sunken
gardens and formal beds of flowers
will surround fountains and pools and
border upon the walks throughout the
courts.
Crowning the great work of produc
ing uuparalleled vistas and an exposi
tion picture of unrivaled beauty will
be the electrical illumination. Only
when a great volume of power is avail
able, such as Buffalo possesses in the
newly harnessed Niagara, could elec
tric illumination be undertaken on so
grand a scale. With unlimited power
to draw upon, the electrician has had
no restraining conditions in his work.
The electric tower, 375 feet high, of
rich and elaborate design, will form the
centerpiece of the electrical brilliancy,
while every building, fountain and ar
chitectural feature and even the broad
surfaces of the artificial lakes and
pools, with floating lights, will glow
with electrical radiance and luster. The
scene will be one of unsurpassed love
liness, hitherto impossible and unlikely
soon to be repeated again on account of
t,he vast expenditure of electrical ener
gy necessary to produce it.

THE DEADLY WIND STORM.
An Apalling List of- Killed and In-
jured. '
NASHVILLE,-Nov. 22 Tenncssei
was swept Tuesday night by 'the most
destructive storm -ever known in the
state. More than 00 persons were killed
and 100 more injured, while the damage
to houses, timber and other property will
reach large figures.
The storm entered the state from north
ern Mississippi and swept across iu a
northeasterly direction. Great damage is
reported from the counties bordering on
Mississippi, and farther on Columbia, iu
Maury county, is the heaviest sufferer.
The path of th storm is about 50
yards wide and was through the north
western suburbs of the town. In its
path everything is completely wrecked.
Not even' the iron and stone fence of the
arsenal grounds is standing.
The bouses of Captain Aydelott, the
F'arrells and other large residences were
demolished.
With the exception of these four houses
the storm's path was through a section
of the town populated chiefly by negroes
and the poorer classes, and the houses
were mere hovels. It is' estimated that
150 of them were totally destroyed and a
large number damaged.
The suffering of the people rendered
homeless and bereft of all their goods is
pitiable. .
The number of houses destroyed in the
Nolensville neighborhood is 10. There
were two fatalities. All of the 10 houses
were totally destroyed. Mr. Hampton
had $400 in money, and this was blown
and only a part recovered. The baby of
Jim Christinau, colored, reported lost,
was found 300 yards from the house at
10 o'clock, lying near a branch, unin
jured. One of the family dogs was lying
by his side.
At Lavergne, 1G miles south of here, on
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
road, the velocity of the wind was mar
velous and from best reports lasted only
about 20 seconds. In this short time
about o5 dwellings were turned into kin
dling wood. The loss of life is small
compared with the miraculous escapes
made. The wind made a swath about
200 yards wide through the middle of the
town. The Lavergne High school and
the depot, the two largest buildings, were
laid flat on the ground. The loss of these
two buildings is placed at $7,000. The
railroad lost four section houses also,
each valued at $000.
In almost every home there were sev
eral injured. Immense damage was done
to farms, and hundreds of live stock were
killed. Considerable daraage resulted at
Martin's Mill and at Indian Creek.
Twenty houses at Dallas, Ala., near
Huntsville, were demolished, but no
lives were lost.
In trie -1 o iniu li V;i 11 e yw
SCHENECTADY, N. Y.. Nov. 22.
Several persons were injured and many
others narrowly escaped death, while
thousauds of dollars' worth of damage
was done as the result of the cyclone in
this city yesterday. Prominent among
those injured' was James A. Goodrich,
president of the Y. M. C. A. and a prom
inent lawyer, who was blown down and
hurt about the head. John A. Castor
and a fellow laborer were blown from a
scaffold at the locomotive works to the
ground, 50 feet away, and badly injured.
They are in the hospital. The baseball
grandstand was wrecked and fragments
carried through the air demolished the
fronts of houses in Delemont avenue.
Three baby carriages were upset, and
their occupants narrowly escaped being
trampled to death under horses' feet. At
the State street railroad crossing Charles
II. Benedict saved a boy from the wheels
of a freight train, toward which he was
hj'ing blown. It is reported that a school
house several miies from here was blown
down. The Alpha Knitting mill was bad
ly damaged. Two icehouses on the Mo
hawk river and owned by Timeson &
McAuley are demolished. A saloon on
State street run by Charles McCouokey
was wrecked.
The Storm In ew York City.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. A windstorm
accompanied by a slashing fall of rain
struck New York and vicinity at 4:10
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The wind
came from the northwest and blew for
five minutes at a 72 mile clip. The rain
was driven in hissing sheets through the
streets. The velocity of the wind was so
great that several persons going across
City Hall park were blown from their
feet.. The big flag on the Postal Tele
graph building was whipped away from
the staff and went sailing like a great
feather on the wind. At Park place and
Broadway, in front of several clothing
stores, showcases were overturned and
the goods scattered to the winds. A
large roll top desk which had just been
taken from a truck was hurled up against
a big case, and both were demolished.
Then the storm ceased as suddenly as it
had come, and the city was treated to a
most magnificent rainbow.
Hurricane In Colorado.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Nov. 22. A
hurricane has swept over this city, and
signs are blown down, telephone, tele
graph and light wires are down and
chimneys have been blown from roofs.
People are afraid to venture in the
streets,' and business is practically sus
pended. The velocity of the wind was
the greatest ever attained here 70 miles
an hour. The storm started at 10 o'clock
yesterday, but did not become severe un
til 12:30. The plant of the Colorado
Springs Electric company is badly dam
aged, the steel stacks being blown down.
The High school building was damaged
a great deal. The iron roof of the Tem
ple theater was ripped off in large sec

General MiteAtliar Says Election He
salt Was Only an Incident.
MANILA.'Novr 22 Gcnei;aJ MacAr
thur watf asked" whether, the result -of the
presidential election in the United States
was in any way responsible.for the orders
to push operations against the Filipinos.
He. replied that the result of the election
was merely coincident with other fea
tures of the situation. He added that the
return of the-soldiers and marines from
China, with the recruits who had ar
rived recently, would increase the num- .
ber of troops to 70,000 men. The en
largement of the forces, the ending of
the rainy season, better roads, improved
transportation and the desire to make the
most efficient use of the volunteers before
their term of service expires in June are
all contributory to the most active cam
paign. Concerning the replacing of 83,000 vol
unteers. General MacArthur said he fa
vored the establishment of a standing ar
my of 75,000 men and authorizing th
president to increase it to 100,000 men.
The general also said he was.enlarging
the force in General Young's district to
nearly 7,000 men, that heavy re-enforcements
we're being sent to General Hughes
iu the island of Panay, that more troop
had been ordered to southern Luzon and
that various column movements had been
planned. ' . ."V
The stranding of the coasting transport
Indiana is causing a long delay in reach
ing a number of the remote coast sta
tions iu southern Luzon, vhich have sub
sistence to Nov. 1 only and will have to
depend largely on foraging until the In-.
diana is floated or a steamer is secured.
The customs warehouses are congested,
which is delaying the commerce of Ma
nila. General Smith, the collector of
the port, at a meeting of many importers
urged the necessity for the removal of
the goods. The merchants talk of organ
izing a company for the erection of bond
ed Warehouses.

CHARLOTTE, N. C. Nov. 22. Two
old ladies, VU.it .1. C'oUey. aged 73, and
her niece, Jano Vath Colley, who lived
alone in a knuuc y.i a niui:; thoroughfare
five miles from Charlotte, have been
murdered, robbed and their bodies burn
ed. The old ladies were generally report
ed to be wealthy. It is known that they
had a good deal of money. They had
lived a retired life for years nnd seldom
ventured away from home, not even to
the city, except when business compelled
a visit. The supposiiicn is that the eld
ladies were attacked while they were at
supper, after which their residence was
sacked and the house in which their bod
ies lay was fired. For years past they
had been known to be accumulating
money and probably had $1,200 saved up.
There is absolutely no clew to the perpe
trators of the deed.. The neighborhood
people are greatly stirred up, and both
city ami county officials are using every
efful-t to get a trace of the murderers.
Bryan's Vote In Oliio,
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 22. The count
of the vote on the presidential electors
and state officers by statisticians in the
office of the secretary of state, which will
stand as the official vote, was completed
yesterdav. The vote for president was:
McKinley, 543.01S: Bryan, 475.SS2. The
figures show the remarkable fact that
Bryan received exactly the same number
of votes in Ohio that he received four
years ago. This is without a parallel in
the elections of Ohio and probably in tho
United States.
